How We Talk About Disability at CTA: A guide
At CTA, we’re committed to inclusion and equality for disabled people. Our research team has put this guide together using the social model of disability, which recognises that people are disabled not by their impairments or conditions, but by the barriers in society—whether physical, organisational, or to do with how people think and behave.
This model shapes the language we use. We aim to talk about disability in ways that are respectful, inclusive, and focused on removing barriers.
